Is ret really so op in beta ? becouse it's like 4'th nerf in row now - i remember same thing in cataclysm beta - then when expansion was released ret was 30% lower then any other spec in game at least till patch 4.1

did mages get buffed? if i read the icy veins right, if they pop icy veins they will get 3 x 160% damage hits, i.e. 480% damage on frost bolt, frost fire bolt, and ice lance?? so, an icy veined/frozen target ice lance would be like 800% damage or something?? that really cannot be right.

It will probably split to 3 targets - if there is only one, then you get only one FB I suppose.

Crusader Strike nerf? Seriously? Prot is already having major damage issues, Ret doesn't exactly top the pile either, so I can't really see a good reason for this other than "fuck you guys". To the ground indeed.
